Advantages and disadvantages of growing vegetables
Many varieties intended for cultivation in a cultivation room made of modern glass-replacement material produce an early harvest.
Advantages of agricultural technology in protected ground:
- Inside the room, a constant temperature is set and the required humidity is maintained. The fruits grow in early July.
- Vegetables 8 cm long have juicy flesh. They contain useful vitamins and minerals.
- The fruits do not require a lot of fertilization.
- Plants do not need special care.
Some of the main disadvantages when growing eggplant are:
- A sharp temperature drop causes the death of the culture.
- The plant often rots after abundant soil moisture. Roots, stems and fruits are subject to organic decomposition.
- Eggplants are light-loving crops. In a heated greenhouse, it is necessary to equip the maximum number of lamps that contribute to the rapid ripening of the crop.
A room for growing seedlings is chosen, taking into account the timing of planting. If the harvest is planned for June, the seeds are planted in a greenhouse set on the ground. In winter, eggplants are grown in polycarbonate greenhouses. The following communication systems are installed inside the premises:

Planting seeds, caring for seedlings in a greenhouse
Planting material is purchased at a specialized store. The seeds are placed in a special container for germination. The containers are left in a greenhouse at an air temperature of + 25 ° C. They are covered with a protective coating and placed on racks. As soon as the first shoots appear, the film is removed.
The seedlings are kept in a special container until they acquire biological maturity.
For planting young plants in a permanent place, the soil is prepared in advance. She must meet the following requirements: stay clean and warm. It is necessary to fertilize the soil. Special mineral compositions or folk remedies are used: wood ash, humus, urea.
After fertilization, the soil is watered and loosened. Prepare small holes in the ground. The distance between them is 20-35 cm. A young plant is placed in a hole, covered and tamped with earth. Seedlings are watered abundantly with water. In the greenhouse, it is necessary to close the windows and vents so as not to cause the development of root rot.
For growing fruits, fresh soil is acquired. In this case, the seedlings are protected from the penetration of infectious microorganisms and pests of vegetable crops. Planting material is prepared in advance:
- remove damaged grains;
- germinate seeds in a cellar by placing them between two layers of gauze.
The grains are kept in the cold for 14 days. Moisten them with water as soon as the need arises. An excess of moisture should not be allowed.
The soil is loosened before planting seedlings in protected ground. The procedure is carried out to enrich the surface layer of the earth with oxygen. In a heated greenhouse, the soil is warmed and disinfected. Eggplants are planted alongside tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and watermelons. The temperature in the greenhouse should not exceed + 25 ° С. The eggplants are tied up as soon as the plant reaches a height of 60 cm. Extra shoots are removed to improve stem and root development.
